 Re:New member? - 2005/01/26 09:51 Keiwit, you seem to be someone with a high fantasy rating, a delight in words, a great deal of undischarged mental energy - and possiby, also, not enough to do at work?!

Let me assure you that you are among equals on this forum!! And if your pa takes after you (if he'll pardon the expression) he would be among friends here too. Has he come to join us yet? How shall we know him if he does? This is a non-ageist community.

One request, Judith, can you give the eulogy at my funeral? Keep next year free if you would.

To return to the unsavoury episode that is my beloved father, someone once told me it was obvious where I got my sense of humour from. Yes, that's right, it's all from a joke book my dad found when he was rooting through Lenny Henry's dustbins.

He brought it home for us to eat but I decided to try reading it instead. We ate the cookery book he found instead, I expect it tasted much the same but the pages looked more appetising.

Anyway, every time I say something witty and/or spontaneous it all comes from hours of painful research and practice. I'm not funny at all by the way, I just pretend to be to make people laugh.

I do "delight in words". But I'm a terrible speller so I sometimes delight in worms instead. I am often bored at work but hope any other Performance Analysts on here will symapthise.

 Re:New member? - 2005/01/26 19:50 Mayhap pidsblufgo is an acronym for Philippine Institute for Development Studies, Breeches and Leather Uniform Forum, Group Organiser. You can verify the elements of that at http://www.acronymfinder.com

As for adding superfluous letters within words, you can't beat the Irish. If you motor around Ireland, don't ask for directions unless you're happy being laughed at; use a map instead. If you want to pronounce any word in Irish gaelic just drop a random third or so of the letters (especially the aitches) and have a stab at what's left. EG Maigh Eo is Mayo (county, not low fat), bean sídhe is approx. banshee, fleadh is approx. fla, breitheamh is approx. breeh'n.

Which has almost nothing to do with this Brentism: "Avoid employing unlucky people - throw half of the pile of CVs in the bin without reading them".

Goodnight, and may your god go with you.

 Re:New member? - 2005/01/26 20:47 Wouldn't it have been fun to have had this conversation on the Topica list and seen how quickly the topicapolice would have felt our collars? I got boogie, boogie, in my socks

I'd never seen the Topica list before, but just now I went to have a look. The first thread that caught my eye was:

"Rolf Harris covers Jake?"

This conjured up a rather strange image for me. Now I'm trying to decide who has the longer legs.

Given the posters and content, I have thought a few times that the natural home for this chat is The Steamie. While it's nicely off-topic here, it's more permanent than the ephemeral nature of recent posts deserves, and is likely to surprise a lot of new members visiting the thread expecting a nice welcome or some helpful advice.

It's also a bit too ephemeral and quirky to generate hundreds of Topica e-mails for each quip, police or no.
